  • 13. Would You Abort Me?
    Jun 16 2026

    A diagnosis should never determine a person's value.

    In this episode, we discuss abortion after a Down syndrome diagnosis to YouTuber Jesse Ridgway and his wife, and why we believe every child, regardless of ability, is fearfully and wonderfully made by God.

    We share a biblical perspective on the sanctity of life, the worth of every human being, and why our culture's view of value often differs from God's.

    Every life is precious.

    Every life has purpose.

    Every life bears the image of God.
